Fisherman finds weighted down gun in Fort De Soto

“Christopher Sacco was fighting a large fish. Or so he thought. He’d already lost it once and he wasn’t going to lose it again. When he finally reeled in the line, he realized he had the catch of the day.

But it wasn’t a fish. Instead, it was an abandoned gun.

Sacco, 35, was fishing off the shore of Fort De Soto Park before noon Saturday when he reeled in a Publix plastic bag. Inside the bag was a black revolver, with a rock secured to it by red and white twine.

“You’ve got be kidding me,” Sacco said to his friend. Sacco’s friend looked over to him. “I found a gun,” he said.

“He looked at me like, ‘Are you serious,’” Sacco said. “I’m like bro, I found a freaking gun.”

ETA that gator made pretty good time swimming up to Desoto to take a dump
